Ok I am new to the customization of firearms, soo here goes. Last night I traded a Mossberg 715t for a 10/22. It is older a serial # search says 1976 or 77. I decided over my night at work that this would become a project gun for my better half. I have measured her up for LOP and it is about 11.5" this leads me to think a youth stock??? Also thinking a trigger kit and optics. I am looking for advice on all of this. As a jumping off point I am going to look for a semi fancy laminate stock, I'm hoping I don't have to go custom to fit her. Where is a good place to start looking for parts for this build? I don't currently have access to the EE.
10/22 project

I put my new 10/22 in a Christie's 7 position stock, and I love it. My son and I both shoot it, he's 4' 10" and I'm 6' 6". Great price from Brownell's, I paid $99 for it and had it shipped to Canada without any issues, although I did have to pay customs, but it was still cheaper than anything local. It's synthetic, not laminate though. Worth a look. I've also ordered from them for an extractor, extended mag release and auto bolt. All came just fine, but more customs fees. Only thing I wanted that they wouldn't ship was the extended charging handle. Have to find one in Canada that isn't too pricey. Let me know if you track one down.
I will be keeping an eye open. I have until september to do tis build. She is a fan of the "classic" look with a little flash, hence the laminate stock. I have ulterior motives for this build. I figure if I do a build for her she won't make a big stink when I do one for me lol. Starting with a .22 before I do my custom hunting rifle build.

Built this last night.
Boyd ss evolution stock $99
Dlask barrel and receiver
Very short and nice to hold, my 11 and 12 year old daughters love the feel of it too, so good for short grips.

If you're looking for trigger parts consider hical.ca. Tonight I ordered a target hammer kit for my dad's to lighten the pull. Within minutes the order was processed and will be here tomorrow morning! That kind of service I like!
I purchased the target hammer kit from hical and I gotta say it was night and day. I used a fish scale to see what my pull was. The stock pull was around 7 pounds and with the pc hammer it was about 3 pounds. Only 50 bucks to boot.
I ordered a timney drop in trigger from a local gun shop about 2 months ago. Still waiting. Did you find timney drop ins in stock somewhere? What stock did you end up going with? 10/22 builds can really get addicting. It's an expensive hobby, but sure is fun. Let us know how you make out along the way.
Update: After talking to the boss lady we have decided to make an attempt at shortening the stock ruger stock and doing a snakeskin paintjob on it. Any advice? I measured lop and made a jig to keep the butt profile for the trim just a case of whether or not I will need a new butt cap for it
You have to upload them to a photo hosting service such as imageshack, photobucket, etc. Then you paste the location link for the pic into your post using the upload image button.
